Picked up the first issue earlier today, and it was a pretty good read. Really glad the first 4 issues are coming out weekly.

Same. I am optimistic and looking forward.

I guess that's better than "No chance, stop asking".

For those who got the first issue, did you get it physical or digital? Did anything in particular stand out as great/terrible or is it just a decent comic?

Digital it was just a decent intro comic and I was not expecting much more from the 1st issue. Which is also why I am glad April is weekly for the comic.

Also the art is really nice.

We got confirmation that the Hooligans are still a thing. As Sonic compares Rough and Tumble to them.

I don't really understand how Tangles tail works, like she wraps it around some robots and pulls on it and they just sorta explode?

They got crushed. The tail was wrapped and "tangled" between them so that when she pulled the tail the robots in the gaps between the tail would be squeezed and crushed.

Otherkinsey Scale posted:

So they don't call him Robotnik anymore, but the robots are called Badniks?

They have been called Badniks in many recent things. It is easier then saying Eggman's Robots.

Any idea if they'll do another mega man cross over because those were fun and awesome.

Maybe if IDW picks up the licence. I think Archie still has it.

That was pretty great. I always enjoy when Metal Sonic gets to be an actual character.

And yeah, everyone's angry that they can't use Metal, Ray, Bean, Bark, and Nack. Which, is, yanno, Sega's prerogative. If they're gonna treat Classic Sonic as his own sub franchise then it makes sense to give him his own cast of characters.

This isn't even ruling them getting a chance to appear in the comics. What if Sega gives permission to do a Classic story later down the line? Just wait and things will be worth it, I say.

I think they can use Bean, Bark and Nack. They were even referenced back in issue 3. Sonic compared Rough and Tumble to the Hooligans. their group name in the Archie comics.

Honestly, don't rule out anyone appearing period, things change a lot.

True this.

Anyway liked the issue. Neo Metal has always looked cool and it was a shame he was not fight able in the original game. Also like that they explained why Metal Sonic was not actually in Forces and an illusion was used instead.

Yeah, I gotta say the way the plot's going is really interesting so far, and the writing is still hilarious.

Metal Sonic commanding the entire robot army is really cool to me for some reason, and it'd be cool as gently caress to see that in a game. Basically Sonic Heroes again except he's not pretending to be Eggman the whole time

The captions and such even call him the New Eggman Empire Leader, and Neo Metal works really well as an evil Overlord look.

I like how in the post-chapter notes his character designer very carefully maneuvers around a question about his design inspiration, directly next to reference picture of Definitely-Not-Finitevus.

it was only delayed 2 weeks, compared to issue 12 being delayed for pretty much a whole month

Well because of the delay they came out close together. That's why I felt it was quick.

Anyway enjoyed the new issue, and I think I already see issues Starline is going to have with Eggman.

The Egg Grapes were a Power Source he created. Person goes in and their life force is drained to power his machines until they die. Also they get poisoned and memory wiped while in the grapes.

Though on the recent issue. Man did Starline just make a huge mistake. He does not know that Eggman can't control the Zeti and has bad blood with them. He's effectively just handing an army over to Zavok by getting them involved.

I’ve got five on Sonic (deliberately) infecting Eggman and having Shadow and Espiso’s thoughts on the matter of killing him (as much as this isn’t literally doing so) thrown back in Sonic’s face.

He tried to do that in their last meeting if I recall correctly.
